We dug deeper into Rails today and covered a huge range of topics:

• link generation
• session management
• ActiveRecord relationships
• Ajax
• rails form binding
• web "components"

The format today was mostly presentation, with few exercises. This was a double-edged sword - a lot of information was provided (much more so than day one), but there was little opportunity to experiment with what was presented.

After class, a group of eight of us headed into downtown for Indian food. It was a bit of a wild goose chase finding the restaurant, but then we enjoyed great Indian food and beer. Aside from the usual geeking out, we were regaled with entertaining tales by an French expatriate attendee named Fernand.
